The MET paper covers questions from physics, chemistry, and mathematics for B.Tech students. Candidates should not learn questions. Instead, they should understand the concepts behind these questions and practise different variations, because the same concepts repeat in the exam again and again.
Question 1: In the equation $\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{b}\left(\mathrm{x} / \mathrm{t}^2-\mathrm{a}\right)$, where P is pressure, x is distance, and t is time, what are the dimensions of a/b?
(A) $\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}$
(B) $\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$
(C) $\mathrm{ML}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^2$
(D) $\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{LT}^2$
Correct Answer: B. $\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$
Solution:
Since $\mathrm{x} / \mathrm{t}^2$ and a are subtracted, both must have the same dimensions.
Dimensions of a $=\mathrm{LT}^{-2}$
Pressure has dimensions $\mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$.
From $\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{b} \times \mathrm{a}$ :
Dimensions of $\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{ML}^{-2}$
Therefore,
Dimensions of $\mathrm{a} / \mathrm{b}=\left(\mathrm{LT}^{-2}\right) /\left(\mathrm{ML}^{-2}\right)$
$=\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$
Question 2: The coordinates of a particle are x = at² and y = bt². What is the speed of the particle at time t?
(A) $2 \mathrm{t}(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b})$
(B) $2 \mathrm{t} \sqrt{ }\left(\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2\right)$
(C) $\mathrm{t} \sqrt{ }\left(\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2\right)$
(D) $2 \sqrt{ }\left(\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2\right)$
Correct Answer: B. $2 \mathrm{t} \sqrt{ }\left(\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2\right)$
Solution:
Velocity in the x-direction:
$\mathrm{vx}=\mathrm{dx} / \mathrm{dt}=2 \mathrm{at}$
Velocity in the y-direction:
vy = dy/dt = 2bt
Speed $=\sqrt{ }\left(v x^2+v y^2\right)$
$=\sqrt{4a^2t^2+4b^2t^2}$
$=2t\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
Question 3: The force required to move a body up an inclined plane is twice the force required to prevent it from sliding down. If μ is the coefficient of friction, what is the inclination of the plane?
A. tan⁻¹(μ)
B. tan⁻¹(2μ)
C. tan⁻¹(3μ)
D. tan⁻¹(μ/3)
Correct Answer: C. tan⁻¹(3μ)
Solution:
Force required to move the body upward:
$F_1=m g \sin \theta+\mu m g \cos \theta$
Force required to prevent downward sliding:
$\mathrm{F}_2=\mathrm{mg} \sin \theta-\mu \mathrm{mg} \cos \theta$
Given:
$F_1=2 F_2$
Therefore:
$\mathrm{mg} \sin \theta+\mu \mathrm{mg} \cos \theta=2 \mathrm{mg} \sin \theta-2 \mu \mathrm{mg} \cos \theta$
So,
$3 \mu \mathrm{mg} \cos \theta=\mathrm{mg} \sin \theta$
Therefore:
$\tan \theta=3 \mu$
Hence,
$\theta=\tan ^{-1}(3 \mu)$
Question 4: he power generated by a wind turbine is proportional to which power of the wind speed v?
A. v
B. v²
C. v³
D. v⁴
Correct Answer: C. v³
Solution:
The kinetic energy of air is proportional to v². The amount of air passing through the turbine per unit time is proportional to v.
Therefore:
Power $\propto v^2 \times v$
So, Power $\propto V^3$
Question 5: A sphere of mass m moving with velocity u collides head-on with another stationary sphere of the same mass. If the coefficient of restitution is e, what is the ratio of their speeds after collision?
A. (1 + e)/(1 − e)
B. (1 − e)/(1 + e)
C. 1 − e²
D. 1 + e²
Correct Answer: B. (1 − e)/(1 + e)
Solution:
Using conservation of momentum:
$u=v_1+v_2$
Using the coefficient of restitution:
$e=\left(v_2-v_1\right) / u$
Therefore:
$v_1=\frac{u(1-e)}{2}$
$v_2=\frac{u(1+e)}{2}$
Hence:
$v_1 / v_2=(1-e) /(1+e)$
Question 6: A uniform pencil of length L is initially vertical and falls about one end. What is its angular velocity just before it becomes horizontal?
A. $\sqrt{ }(3 g / L)$
B. $\sqrt{ }(6 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L})$
C. $\sqrt{ }(2 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L})$
D. $\sqrt{ }(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{L})$
Correct Answer: A. $\sqrt{ }(3 g / L)$
Solution:
The centre of mass falls through a distance L/2.
Loss of potential energy:
= mgL/2
Moment of inertia of the pencil about one end:
$\text { I = mL²/3 }$
Using conservation of energy:
$\mathrm{mgL} / 2=1 / 2 \times \mathrm{mL}^2 / 3 \times \omega^2$
Solving:
$\omega^2=3 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L}$
Therefore:
$\omega=\sqrt{ }(3 g / L)$
Question 7: A solid sphere of radius R is struck at a point at height h above its centre. If it acquires a translational speed v₀, what is its angular velocity immediately after the impulse?
A. $5 h v_0 /\left(2 R^2\right)$
B. $2 h v_0 /\left(5 R^2\right)$
C. $5 \mathrm{v}_0 /(2 \mathrm{hR})$
D. $2 \mathrm{Rv}_0 /(5 \mathrm{~h})$
Correct Answer: A. $5 h v_0 /\left(2 R^2\right)$
Solution:
For a solid sphere:
$\mathrm{I}=2 \mathrm{mR}^2 / 5$
The impulse gives the sphere linear momentum:
$\mathrm{J}=\mathrm{mv}_0$
Angular impulse about the centre:
$\mathrm{I} \omega=\mathrm{Jh}$
Therefore:
$\left(2 m R^2 / 5\right) \omega=m v_0 h$
So,
$\omega=5 h v_{\mathrm{o}} /\left(2 \mathrm{R}^2\right)$
Question 8: Two masses M and m are initially at a very large distance from each other with negligible relative velocity. What is their relative speed when their separation becomes d?
A. $\sqrt{ }(\mathrm{GMm} / \mathrm{d})$
B. $\sqrt{ }(2 \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}) / \mathrm{d})$
C $\sqrt{ }(\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}) /(2 \mathrm{~d}))$
D $2 \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}) / \mathrm{d}$
Correct Answer: B. $\sqrt{ }(2 \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}) / \mathrm{d})$
Solution:
Using conservation of energy:
$\mathrm{GMm} / \mathrm{d}=1 / 2 \times[\mathrm{Mm} /(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m})] \times \mathrm{v}^2$
Solving for v:
$\mathrm{v}^2=2 \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}) / \mathrm{d}$
Therefore:
$v=\sqrt{ }[2 G(M+m) / d]$
Question 9: A cylinder of mass M and density ρ is completely immersed in a liquid of density σ. If the vessel has cross-sectional area A, what is the increase in pressure at the bottom due to the cylinder?
A. Mg/A
B. Mσg/(ρA)
C. Mρg/(σA)
D. σg/(ρA)
Correct Answer: B. Mσg/(ρA)
Solution:
Volume of the cylinder:
$V=M / \rho$
Buoyant force:
$F=\sigma V g$
Therefore:
$\text { F = M } \sigma \mathrm{g} / \rho$
Pressure increase:
$\Delta \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{A}$
Hence:
$\Delta P=M \sigma g /(\rho A)$
Question 10: An AC circuit has V = 100 sin ωt and I = 100 sin(ωt + π/3) mA. What is the average power consumed?
A. 2.5 W
B. 5 W
C. 25 W
D. 50 W
Correct Answer: A. 2.5 W
Solution:
Phase difference $=60^{\circ}$
RMS voltage $=100 / \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~V}$
RMS current $=0.1 / \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~A}$
Average power:
$P=V_{\mathrm{rms}}\times I_{\mathrm{rms}}\times\cos60^\circ$
$P=\left(\frac{100}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\times\left(\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\times\frac{1}{2}$
Therefore:
$\mathrm{P}=2.5 \mathrm{~W}$
Question 1: Which of the following molecules has a linear shape?

The unit of k is s⁻¹.
Question 4: Which equation is used to calculate the cell potential under non-standard conditions?
A. Arrhenius equation
B. Nernst equation
C. Henderson equation
D. Clausius equation
Correct Answer: B. Nernst equation

For example, NO₂⁻ can coordinate through nitrogen or oxygen.
This gives rise to linkage isomerism.
Question 1: A bag contains 3 red, 4 white and 5 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that the two balls are of different colours?
A. 19/66
B. 47/66
C. 31/66
D. 23/66
Correct Answer: B. 47/66
Solution:
Total balls = 12
Total ways of selecting two balls:
12C2 = 66
Ways of selecting balls of the same colour:
3C2 + 4C2 + 5C2
= 3 + 6 + 10
= 19
Ways of selecting balls of different colours:
66 − 19 = 47
Therefore: Probability = 47/66
Question 2: If the roots of $x^3+p x^2+q x+r=0$ are in geometric progression, which relation is satisfied by p, q and r?
A. q³ = rp³
B. p³ = qr²
C. q² = pr
D. p² = qr
Correct Answer: A. q³ = rp³
Solution:
Let the roots be a/d, a and ad.
Using the relations between roots and coefficients:
Sum of roots = −p
Sum of products of roots taken two at a time = q
Product of roots = −r
From the first two relations:
a = −q/p
Since the product of roots is:
a³ = −r
Substituting a = −q/p:
(−q/p)³ = −r
Therefore: q³ = rp³
Question 3: A vertex of a square is (−4, 5), and one diagonal is $7 x-y+8=0$. Find the equation of the other diagonal.
A. $x+7 y-31=0$
B. $7x + y − 31 = 0$
C. $x − 7y + 31 = 0$
D. $7x − y + 31 = 0$
Correct Answer: A. $x + 7y − 31 = 0$
Solution:
Given line:
$7x − y + 8 = 0$
or
$y = 7x + 8$
Its slope is 7.
Since the diagonals of a square are perpendicular:
Required slope = -1/7
Using point (-4, 5):
$y-5=-1 / 7(x+4)$
After simplifying:
$x+7 y-31=0$
Question 4: Find the mean deviation about the median for the observations 20, 33, 39, 40, 50, 53, 59, 65 and 69.
A. 10.67
B. 11.67
C. 12.67
D. 13.67
Correct Answer: C. 12.67
Solution:
There are 9 observations.
Therefore, the median is the fifth observation:
Median = 50
Absolute deviations from 50 are:
30, 17, 11, 10, 0, 3, 9, 15, 19
Sum = 114
Mean deviation = 114/9
= 12.67
Question 5: A man walks 10 metres towards a tower. At the first position, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30°. At the second position, it becomes 60°. What is the distance of the man from the tower at the second position?
A. 2.5 m
B. 5 m
C. 10 m
D. 15 m
Correct Answer: B. 5 m
Solution:
Let the distance from the second position to the tower be x.
Distance from the first position = x + 10.
Using the tangent ratios:
$\tan 30^{\circ}=h /(x+10)$
$\tan 60^{\circ}=\mathrm{h} / \mathrm{x}$
Since $\tan 30^{\circ}=1 / \sqrt{ } 3$ and $\tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{ } 3$ :
$\frac{x+10}{\sqrt{3}}=x\sqrt{3}$
$x+10=3x$
$2x=10$
Therefore: x = 5 m

A. A is always an identity matrix
B. A is a singular matrix
C. A is always an orthogonal matrix
D. A is an invertible matrix
Correct Answer: B. A is a singular matrix
Solution:
A square matrix is singular when its determinant is zero.
Given:
|A| = 0
Therefore, A is a singular matrix and does not have an inverse.
Question 7: For what value of k will the equation $x^2-4 x+k=0$ have equal roots?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 8
D. 16
Correct Answer: B. 4
Solution:
For equal roots, the discriminant must be zero.
For $a x^2+b x+c=0$ :
$D=b^2-4 a c$
Here:
$a=1, b=-4 \text { and } c=k$
Therefore:
$D=16-4 \mathrm{k}$
For equal roots:
$16-4k=0$
$4k=16$
$k=4$
Question 8: What is the value of $\sin 30^{\circ}+\cos 60^{\circ}$?
A. 0
B. 1/2
C. 1
D. $\sqrt{ } 2$
Correct Answer: C. 1
Solution:
$\sin 30^{\circ}=1 / 2$
$\cos 60^{\circ}=1 / 2$
Therefore:
$\sin 30^\circ+\cos 60^\circ$
$=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$
$=1$
Question 9: A coin is tossed three times. What is the probability of getting exactly two heads?
A. 1/8
B. 3/8
C. 1/2
D. 5/8
Correct Answer: B. 3/8
Solution:
Total possible outcomes:
$2^3=8$
The outcomes with exactly two heads are:
